With respect to total hip arthroplasty (THA), there have only been two small studies that included corticosteroids in the LIA mixture; there was analgesic benefit and better early rehabilitation outcomes when compared to placebo. However, there is limited high-quality evidence for either THA or TKA demonstrating an improvement in functional outcomes when dexamethasone is used in an LIA mixture. This study will evaluate if the addition of dexamethasone to a local infiltration analgesia mixture will improve functional outcomes following total hip and knee arthroplasty.
